Benefits Include…
Social Skills
Students learn by engaging in enjoyable activities to experience healthy relationships that transfer to real world skills. They learn how to be flexible, resilient, emotionally aware, self-regulated, and kind.
Mindfulness
The exercises require heightened focus as participants Think, Act, Listen, and Look on Purpose. Students intentionally activate their parasympathetic nervous system to access the calm within.
CASEL Competencies
Included are SEL goals and objectives for each of the five CASEL competencies for ease of use in IEP development and other data record keeping.
Kindness & Empathy
Students embrace making mistakes as part of life and critical to learning. In doing so, they become kinder to themselves and to others in their group or classroom. Self-acceptance is key!
The Power of Belonging
Classrooms and groups grow into environments where everyone belongs. New experiences lead them into uncharted territory as a group where they connect and bond.
Organized & Easy-to-Use
Choose from a list of objectives for a desired skill. Then select the activities and techniques that address your targeted objective and easily create your lesson plans.

Become energized, renewed, and remotivated to lead students
